setsid - create session and set process group ID
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t setsid(void);
The
setsid() function shall create a new session, if the calling process
is not a process group leader. Upon return the calling process shall be the
session leader of this new session, shall be the process group leader of a new
process group, and shall have no controlling terminal. The process group ID of
the calling process shall be set equal to the process ID of the calling
process. The calling process shall be the only process in the new process
group and the only process in the new session.
Upon successful completion,
setsid() shall return the value of the new
process group ID of the calling process. Otherwise, it shall return (
pid_t)-1 and set
errno to indicate the error.
The
setsid() function shall fail if:
- EPERM
- The calling process is already a process group leader, or
the process group ID of a process other than the calling process matches
the process ID of the calling process.

The
setsid() function is similar to the
setpgrp() function of
System V. System V, without job control, groups processes into process groups
and creates new process groups via
setpgrp(); only one process group
may be part of a login session.
Job control allows multiple process groups within a login session. In order to
limit job control actions so that they can only affect processes in the same
login session, this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 adds the
concept of a session that is created via
setsid(). The
setsid()
function also creates the initial process group contained in the session.
Additional process groups can be created via the
setpgid() function. A
System V process group would correspond to a POSIX System Interfaces session
containing a single POSIX process group. Note that this function requires that
the calling process not be a process group leader. The usual way to ensure
this is true is to create a new process with
fork() and have it call
setsid(). The
fork() function guarantees that the process ID of
the new process does not match any existing process group ID.
